I was invited to a Survivor party, where we were required to dress as contestants on the tv show. I googled a few images of Elizabeth (as that's how long ago it was since I watched it) and came up with an idea of the attire....
I already knew I was too old for a midriff so opted for a boob tube buff that went all the way down to my waist....
However, I discovered a few other things I'm too old for:
1. Plaits. My partner opened with 'What's with the Pocahontas look?' I looked ridiculous.
2. Boob Tube. I have sadly discovered I have back fat. That's too depressing for further discussion.
On the plus side, I got to wear sneakers to a party and over-bronze my body (which was meant to be sunburn but everyone kept commenting on my tan....maybe I should do that more often?!)
The highlight, I got to smash a tile with a hammer...but my pent up aggression was commented on, so maybe there's an issue there I need to investigate.
You don't need to watch the clip, and rest assured I looked nothing like this.
Would you survive on Survivor? Who would you go as to a Survivor Party?
Linking with #IMustConfess as I really shouldn't have gone out in public dressed like that - and last night I noticed 3 people in the street wearing boob tubes, and all I could think of was how old and fat (on my back) I'd become - it was depressing...some things will haunt us in the most unexpected ways....
LOL - sounds like fun! As a teenager I lived in boob tubes and lace up shorts! OMG - I don't even see lace-up shorts around these days! Somehow I don't think I could rock that look these days!! I so want to see a picture of you in your long boob tube, sneakers and bronzed body! I haven't watched Survivor in years!
ReplyDeleteHa ha sounds like fun. I would do both #openslather
ReplyDeleteJulie
LOL! There comes an age...
ReplyDeleteI was never comfortable wearing midriffs or boob tubes even when I was young and slender, let alone now. I know all about back fat. SO depressing. Have to admit, I don't quite get plaits on grown women. At this point in my life I'm over fancy dress parties. They were fine when I had nothing else to do besides plan what I was going to wear out on the weekend. Now it all just seems like to much effort. Glad you had fun, though.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of party. It is always a sad moment when realise younger too old for something. Mine is probably short skirts... My legs have s few more dimples than before
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun. I wouldn't last five minutes on survivor.
ReplyDeleteHehe.. Oh boob tubes... It's been some time for me. I would fail miserably on Survivor.
ReplyDeleteHa ha my pent up anger would get me in trouble too! I think I could survive on survivor, I'm that bloody-minded!
ReplyDeleteNo way would I go on survivor but I'd be up for the party version!
ReplyDeleteA survivor party sounds like fun. I'd never survive the swimming challenges, I am not a good swimmer! Besides that I would probably be a crying mess, or not be able to put up with annoying people and crack a massive bunta! A boob tube would probably look more like a tube skirt with my saggy boobs hahaha so not going there!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a bit of fun. Can't say I'd pull off a boob tube.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting idea for a party - can't say I have ever been to or heard of one!
ReplyDeleteOMG - I think you have given me THE BEST idea for my upcoming 40th shindig in August. A Survivor party. Awesome! I watched it for years but no longer watch it religiously. Loved those first few seasons though...
ReplyDeleteBest party idea ever!
ReplyDeleteI am so old i just want to wear pajamas everywhere!
I used to watch survivor all the time but have missed the last few seasons, probably because it is on at stupidoclock!
I think everyone over the age of 21 is highly susceptible to back-fat. Unless you are a contestant on Survivor - then you just starve it off!
ReplyDeleteI've never gone on survivor so I'm not sure who I'd go as. I think those two ladies look a bit sick if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this. I use to love showing just a little tummy... Now that little bit is a big bit and no one deserves that
ReplyDeleteMy Mum and I used to watch Survivor all the time. Now it's just repetitive and boring. I don't think I could survive. I would struggle with the whole sleeping outside and being with people so much.
ReplyDeleteI loved this the first time around and I love it again Lydia. Sadly I didn't go with the Survivor party theme for my 40th but maybe I'll suggest this for my husband for his!
ReplyDeleteNever got into watching Survivor. When it first came out there was a similar UK version called Castaway, I much preferred that. Though Bear Grylls just did a similar program, one was with an island of just women, another with just men. And no way could I survive any of it!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun party, even with the clothing choices. I don't think I've ever worn a boob tube and I have to say I'm with you with the too old for plaits but then who cares when it is for fun.
